Chanyu Kofu was overjoyed when he heard this, and agreed with Ninglu to lead his army to Macheng to investigate the crime and investigate the murderer...
Then, Ninglu led five hundred Xiongnu soldiers to Macheng.
After hearing the news, the county magistrate Jia Gou hurriedly went up to the tower to check.
Seeing that the Hun soldiers all had ruthless expressions on their faces, and the leader Ning Lu was even taller and taller, Jia Gou felt a little frightened instinctively, and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, what is the purpose of your visit?"
"Are you the Magistrate of Macheng County? Why are you pretending to be stupid here?" Ning Lu said impatiently.
"A few days ago, you led people to hold a hunting competition in the mountains behind Macheng. Two of my soldiers were killed by the participating guys."
"You know who the murderer is even if I don't tell you. I advise you to hand over the murderer, otherwise you will cause disaster to all the people in the city!"
Listening to Ninglu's threatening words, Jia Gou felt a little frightened, and his whole body began to tremble violently.
"Lord County Magistrate, why are you so worried and afraid?" Guard captain Yue Qing was the first to stand up and vowed:
"In the future, one of these Hun bastards will be killed, or two of them will be killed!"
Yue Qing's hometown is in Yanmen County, Bingzhou. Before the establishment of the Dafeng Dynasty, Yanmen County was often attacked by the Huns.
Yue Qing's parents were killed by the Huns at that time.
Therefore, Yue Qing hated the Huns so much that he joined the army since he was a child just to kill the Huns.
Now, seeing the Xiongnu army approaching the city, it was natural for him to take the initiative to apply to fight.
However, Yue Qing had nothing to fear from the Huns, but his lieutenant Pang Ruan looked completely timid and couldn't help but ask:
"General Yue Qing, we only have a maximum of 200 guards in the city."
"Look at the Huns army, there are at least more than 500 people. The Huns are already taller and stronger than us Han people, and now they are more numerous than us. If we go head-to-head with them, how can we be their opponents?"
Pang Ru'an's words could be said to be well-founded and made Jia Gou even more frightened: "What should we do now..."
Yue Qing couldn't help it anymore, he clasped his fists and vowed: "My lord, the general is willing to lead his army to fight. If this fails, please behead me."
Seeing Yue Qing's behavior, Jia Gou also decided to give him a chance, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go."
Immediately, Yue Qing led 200 soldiers out of the city and faced Ninglu's 500 Xiongnu soldiers.
Seeing that the Han people dared to go out of the city to fight with him with only 200 soldiers, Ning Lu was about to burst with anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at Jia Gou on the tower and said, "You bastard, you are so brave!"
The harsh words frightened Jia Gou back on the spot. Thanks to Pang Ruan's support, he didn't fall to the ground.
Wait, Pang Ruan?
Jia Gou immediately realized what he was doing and asked Pang Ru'an: "Why didn't you follow Yue Qing to resist the Huns?"
Pang Ru'an explained awkwardly: "This...to resist the Xiongnu, the general feels that Yue Qing is deadlocked by one person, so there is no need for the general to cause trouble, right? It's better to stay and protect the county magistrate."
"You..." Jia Gou was so angry that he wanted to scold Pang Ru'an, but he really agreed to what he said, adversity reveals a person's heart!
There is no way, Jia Gou can only give hope to Yue Qing now, hoping that he can win.
Outside the city, Yue Qing has led his army to confront Ninglu.
Upon seeing this, Ninglu tried to intimidate Yue Qing with words, saying, "Han bastard, where did you get the courage to fight with me? Do you want to die?"
Yue Qing didn't take it seriously and instead waved the command flag in his hand.
With the command flag waving, the two hundred soldiers under his command were divided into four small formations, each with fifty men.
When Ning Lu saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What kind of formation is this?"
"The Four Elephant Formation is specially used by me to hunt down your Huns soldiers." Yue Qing said calmly,
"Now, please give it a try!"
When Ning Lu heard this, he said with disdain: "Bah, you Han people can only do these vain things. They are nothing in front of my powerful Xiongnu warriors!"
After saying that, Ninglu ordered the first hundred Xiongnu soldiers to crush them, trying to destroy Yue Qing's four-image formation.
Unexpectedly, they didn't even use all the four elephant formations. Just one small formation in the four elephant formations was able to beat the charging Huns to the point where they lost their shit and fled.
On top of the city tower, Jia Gou, who saw this scene, patted the city wall with joy on his face and shouted: "Beautiful, General Yue Qing, what you did is really beautiful."
Pang Ruan clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "I really didn't expect that Yue Qing could really defeat the Huns."
"What? Do you still want him to be unable to defeat the Huns?" Jia Gou asked coldly. Because Pang Ruan refused to leave the city, he now had a very bad impression of him.
Pang Ruan shook his head quickly and said: "What are you saying, Lord County Magistrate? If General Yue Qing can win a complete victory, it will be too late for him to be happy..."
"It's just that this is just the vanguard of the Xiongnu. The specific outcome remains to be considered, right?"
When Jia Gou heard this, he couldn't help but look seriously at the battlefield outside the city again...
On the battlefield, Ninglu looked at his defeated vanguard and couldn't help but cursed: "A bunch of trash, what's the use of raising you?"
The Hun soldiers were all scolded and became dejected. The leader of the Hun soldiers defended themselves: "General, it's not that we don't want to charge, it's just that the formation the Han general put up is really too powerful."
"To put it bluntly, you are too useless." Ning Lu scolded coldly, and immediately he led all the troops straight to Yue Qing's Four Elephant Formation.
He really didn't believe it yet. With more than 500 Xiongnu soldiers coming together, couldn't he destroy a small four-image formation?
It seems...it really can’t be destroyed!
After Ninglu led the Xiongnu soldiers into the Four-Elephant Formation, he found that the Four-Elephant Formation was swinging out like an endless stream, directly surrounding him and his Xiongnu soldiers.
"What's going on?" For a moment, Ninglu was confused by the four-image formation.
He couldn't believe it even more. Although there were many people on his side, he was surrounded by a small number of Han troops...
For a general, this is simply a shameful thing!
Ninglu roared angrily and tried hard to lead his army to break out of the four-elephant formation.
In the end, although Ninglu and the Xiongnu soldiers successfully rushed out due to their large numbers, they found that more than half of the army had been killed or injured.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Ning Lu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and waved her weapon back and forth.
Yue Qing looked at Ning Lu, who was still confused, and said angrily: "How can a Huns with no brains like you know the secrets of formations?"
"I advise you to retreat quickly. We, Dafeng, are still on good terms with you Huns. If we have to start a war, don't blame me for waiting!"
